Re: Change System Time without elevation

As you can imagine a Radio Station needs an accurate clock. Student/Hospital radio cannot afford the £1000+ clocks intended for a professional station. In the middle of my main form's toolbar is a clock which, with the help of NTP, was extremely useful. The inbuilt NTP only seems to fire every couple of days allowing PC clocks to drift by a couple of seconds which will not do.

So I will either have to go back to elevated or get every user to install the NTP service which updates often. Many Thanks.

Re: Change System Time without elevation

Thank you Magic. I had already seen your first link and rejected it on the grounds of complexity. These people are good music presenters but technical, nah!
The second link was very interesting until I came to install the tool that does the job for you. It wants me to install the .net framework 3.5 which includes .net 2.0 and .net 3.0. Nah!

I've been to the closest of the stations this morning and installed the NTP service on their machines. It was easy and actually seems to run very well. We will wait now for a week or so. to see what happens.

Re: [RESOLVED] Change System Time without elevation

By the way, in response to the initial question, you can actually use the Windows group policy editor to give set time permission to non-admin users (at least it worked in older Windows versions). But it is likely going to be overridden by domain policy or set back to the default because doing that is generally a bad idea that opens security holes.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...he-system-time
